Shopping is something I love regardless of, for whomever it is at home. Miss M is very happy to join me as all she needs is just to be somewhere out. But for Hubs and Miss S, it is something boring unless it is a shopping for themselves. They would be the first one to be ready on such days and there was one such day few weeks before.
We were given an opportunity to visit the West Field, White City shopping centre to view their Kids SS14 collections. Clarks is my trusted shoe retailer for Kids shoes so far. We have got both children’s first shoes from there. Miss S s’ School shoes are always from Clarks for the past 4 years after she suffered from Verruca on her foot, which I was told could be because of the poor fit shoes :(. At least 2 out of 4 shoes they wear nowadays is from Clarks.
Hubs shoes are ALWAYS from Clarks! No matter what colour and shape (not the size though! :)) It is! So, If you add up everything I was the only odd (wo) man out, but that was only until I was invited to the SS14 event last year. You can peek in here to read the post.
So, needless to mention, I was quite happy to be invited to visit the Clarks Store and so do the children. Westfield itself is a happy place for Miss S and she was doubly happy because she knew she is going to get some new shoes.
The moment we entered the store, We were greeted and got ourself an expert to help us with fitting and choosing the right shoes for the children. The staff was very friendly and though Miss M was so playful and not cooperating, she knew how to grab her attention back and make her sit like a doll for measurement.
The most fun here was the new iPad app to measure the size. Both the children loved it and Miss S was so excited to enter her own details for the measurement (Big Girl now! 🙂
The iPad app measurement was very simple and quick with no hassle and headaches. It gives the accurate measurement in just minutes and off you go to choose your shoes to fit your size!
She measured 3 and 1/2 just 1/2 a size less than me! 🙂 Soon, I am going to run out of my shoes whenever I look for something to match my outfit. :), (A proud Mummy though :))
And then we were off to choose the shoes for the kids. The collection was just beautiful and every piece was unique and has its own beauty (Just so usual for Clarks shoes :)).
After a very serious discussion and thought, we have chosen Harpy Fly Purple Suede Sandals for Miss S and Softlylove from the first shoes range for the tiny feet 🙂 (Miss M).
The one thing, Most loved by me at the Westfield, Whitecity store was the play area for the kids. It gave me a lot of Peace of mind while I was browsing through the store. I think this was the only shopping I have done peacefully after a few years! in a shop that does not sell Toys! 🙂 Thanks to the Play area and the lovely staffs at Clarks. And here they are ready to be out in summer! (Hopefully, the summer lasts longer 🙂 )
Disclaimer: I was given a voucher from Clarks to help me choose the shoes for the children from SS14 collection, which I have used to part pay my purchase during the day visit. All ideas and opinions are my own.
that shoe size app – what a clever idea – i’ve not seen that before! Need to get my kids shoes sorted out soon. Their feet just keep growing! Hope you are keeping well. xxx
Indeed, it was something very exciting and a great fun for the kids. It is a simple app, but definitely gets the attention of the kids.
